You are getting paid for work done. Complaining that you actually have to do your end of the contract is just stupid and is why the job market is so broken.

Remember, those hiring managers and HR are the same people as you -- got the paycheck, try to do as little as you can to just slip under the radar.

Wait, are people getting paid to fill these applications out in your mind? Or are they not getting paid to do the work that hiring managers USED to do but are now TOO LAZY to do and have automated away? And why are businesses not cutting lazy management salaries now that their work has been moved to be automated?

Sounds like these companies should hire better HR people, because they aren't doing their jobs effectively. Also, remember applicants are not getting paid and they owe nothing to you. You seem to have a very entitled attitude towards applicant's time.
